Spring Fling Spells Fun, Spirit, Friendship

..

Gregg Trusty/LSUS News

Many games and activities combine to make the annual LSUS Spring Fling an event filled with fun, spirit and friendship.
(Above left) Reaching for Fun are senior kinesiology and health science majors Deborah Solomon (left) and Teresa Pomeroy. The objective is to outreach your opponent in sticking a Velcro beanbag on the center rail of the air ride. Deterring the effort are a set of bungee cords connected to the back of the ride and the backs of the contestants. So, did Teresa outreach Deborah? LSUS News knows, but will never tell.
(Above right) Spring is the perfect time of the year for budding friendships, and what better sign of friends together (above right) than holding hands and plunging them into a vat of steaming hot wax! “Ouch,” is what sophomore criminal justice major Hope Hollins seems to be saying as the wax forms around her hand and that of her boyfriend, Karon James, a junior nursing major at Southern University. The togetherness lasts for quite awhile, as their hands are dipped repeatedly into the vat of wax. After the last coat of wax is applied, cold water is poured inside the mold and the hands are slipped out, leaving a perfectly formed pair of hands as a memento of the occasion.
